Our method of training teachers in using philosophy for children is very practical. Staff gain experience of the games and activities which are used to get children thinking, they also take part in an enquiry. This gives an invaluable insight into how a p4c session feels and this was picked up by several of the staff at the Norfolk school we have been working with recently:
” Really good to have a go at an investigation to understand how the children might feel.”
“Excellent! Very useful to go through a P4C lesson as the children would in order to feel what they do.”
“To feel how the children will feel is important.”
